Household Waste Management Fee |
|
Each household in Brockton is charged an annual Waste Management Fee. This fee is applied to the Final Property Tax Bill. Beginning in 2012 this fee was applied annually to Final Property Tax Bills for all residential properties. The funds collected through this Waste Management Fee are set aside in a reserve fund to deal with costs related to future landfill closure and capital expenditures. Fees do not offset waste collection or disposal costs in the current operating budget. |
